Wolfeye Studios, the independent game developer founded by Dishonored and Prey co-creator Raphael Colantonio, has begun teasing their next project. Following the success of their 2022 isometric RPG, Weird West, the studio is shifting gears to a first-person experience that blends the strengths of their previous titles.
Colantonio has assured fans of Dishonored and Prey that they will be happy with the upcoming game, describing it as a fusion of the sandbox mission design found in Dishonored with the RPG elements of both Prey and Bethesda’s Fallout franchise.
A recent Eurogamer article sheds further light on the game’s setting and mechanics. The game is set in an alternate version of 1900s America with a retro sci-fi aesthetic. Visuals released thus far hint at a visual blend of Dishonored and Fallout.
The game will feature an open-ended world, similar to Fallout, allowing players to explore freely and engage with the environment in a variety of ways. Missions can be approached through dialogue, action, stealth, or any combination of these tactics.
Colantonio emphasizes the RPG elements, stating that the game leans further towards the RPG style of Fallout compared to Prey, which he sees as a middle ground between Dishonored and Fallout.
Wolfeye Studios’ team boasts numerous veterans from the Dishonored franchise and a few members who have recently joined from the closed Arkane Austin studio, adding to the team’s experience and expertise.
